Two more rapes that occurred in residence halls at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have been reported by campus security authorities, according to recent crime logs from the UT Police Department.

The reports bring the number of rapes that have occurred in a residence hall to seven for the fall 2018 semester and the number of rapes reported on or near campus to 11 since March.

One of the rapes was reported on Nov. 3 through a campus security authority. The rape occurred between Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 at an unknown time, according to the crime log.

Campus security authority is a title given to university employees such as campus police officers, resident assistants, Title IX officers and coaching staff who are trained in reporting crimes under the Clery Act.

Campus security authorities are required to report certain crimes that take place on campus, public property adjacent to campus and in buildings that are owned or leased by UT. UT has approximately 1,500 campus security authorities, 55 of whom are campus police officers.

The second rape was reported Nov. 5, also through a campus security authority. The date and time of the rape are unknown, according to the crime log.

Safety notices were not posted online about the most recent reports. Safety notices, or timely warnings, are required by the Clery Act to keep the community informed about certain crimes if they are reported in a timely manner.

"We are constantly re-evaluating the need for timely warnings and the purpose they serve," Lola Alapo, public information officer for public safety at UT, said in an email. "In these cases, we determined they were not warranted."

Alapo also said she was not aware of the victim's plans for reporting the rapes to the police department.
